    Good morning everyone!

    #2?

    I don’t recall my UH GPA being more than a fraction above a 1960’s peace sign… 🙁

    Well done and congrats to the players for their hard work in the classroom! It’s not easy playing, practicing, training, and studying. Like Harold Moleni’s tee shirt, too!

    I remember the days when players used to sleep in and only show up in class on test days. Students who regularly attended class had confused looks on their faces saying, “Are all these people/players in our class?”

    Good job in the classroom and exam time.

    FYI, the 60’s peace sign is a 5. You had more than a 5.0?

    TGIF!

    Nice to see Warriors making the most of their scholies. Student athlete is the key term here. The smarter the team, the better the team, I’m thinking.

    GO WARRIORS!!!

    RE: #4
    Thanks JTL, I like your roman numeral interpretation better. 🙂
    The 60’s — was there, lived with the hippie version in college 🙁

    Wikipedia notes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_symbols
    The V sign
    The V sign (U+270C ✌ victory hand in Unicode) is a hand gesture, palm outwards, with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed. It had been used to represent victory during the Second World War. During the 1960s in the USA, activists against the Vietnam War and in subsequent anti-war protests adopted the gesture as a sign of peace…

    Great Afternoon All!

    Way fo’ “make A” Warriors!


  13. Arcumfortis June 5, 2015 2:04 pm

    I can complain about many things regarding coach Chow. But his emphasis on getting his players educated is not one of them. For this he deserves respect and thanks. Now if we could only win a few football games!


  14. Da Punchbowl Kid June 5, 2015 2:26 pm

    There you go Arcumfortis, speaking my thoughts again.

    I found it interesting that the Warriors — that’s Na Koa, that’s you — pay about half-mllion each year for summer school. That’s a real expense. But it also is a good investment. It means guys like Marrell Jackson, Ne’Quan Phillips and Harold Moleni can graduate in seven semesters, which gets them started on the rest of their lives and saves UH money on an eighth semester.


  17. oneseason June 5, 2015 5:06 pm

    And thanks also to Coach McMackin since he “insisted the Na Koa step up and pay for summer school for our football players” … about 1 minute into video … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x_Oxf67xTE

    Heard on 1420 that UH Football season tickets go on sale Monday. The UH Athletics website has a somewhat well hidden page that notes: “Season Tickets go on sale June 8, 2015 at 9:00 a.m.”
    However, it looks like any football season ticket holder (maybe anyone?) with an ETH account can order Football season tickets online now by going to the “2015 H Club Football and Women’s Volleyball Parking Sale”, then clicking on the “Football Season Tickets” link, then “Find Tickets”. Lots of great seats for sale. Let’s Go Bows!

    90 days to the first UH football game this coming season.

    NOW IF THEY CAN ONLY WIN ….. !!!!!


  21. beans June 5, 2015 9:20 pm

    Kudos to Moleni.
    I predict that he will have a big year. He is big, and now experienced . Time to show that Haka attitude in the game. Time to be aggressive. Go Bows!

    Top 25!
    Yes, Coaches McMackin and Chow have emphasized football athlete graduation. The higher GPA’s today are impressive. The academic emphasis is not surprising since Coach Chow is a Ph.D in Education.


  24. hitman June 5, 2015 11:08 pm

    Re-Isaiah Bernard

    According to the publisher of S (heaven forbid if I should mention the football site’s name) the Warriors have offered the JC wide receiver a scholarship contingent that the player receive his AA (?). A review of his transcript is scheduled June 18. It seems that the RB and OC coaches like this player. My take: Considering the number of urgent needs the Warriors have, I would have never have guessed it would be a WR the Warriors would be after. But… wait a second. You know something I just scanned the roster. In the last two seasons the Warriors have recruited 1 (’15)+6(’14) WR’s and 3 have departed (?), 1 is on a mission, 1 switched to DB, leaving 2 WR’s that are untested. So, I guess, in foresight this might be a good move after all (?).

    I think you have the right position but not the right person.
